Email is rejected and sent back to the sender, *NOT* as spam, but as 421 BSMTP timeout errors. It looks like the end user didn't exsist and email is bouncing back, instead of a 500 or 550 error, it's the 421 error. 2.) Other users complained that email simply never arrived. That is when I searched the exim queue and noticed emails being frozen there. Spam mails and very legitimate mails as well. All of these have BSMTP 421 timeout errors written to the email body to notify the sender. 3.) It also seems that some email just vanishes. I'm suspecting that this email is really bouncing back to the sender but the sender trashes it thinking it's spam. -- ## List details at http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/
